It is with deep sadness that we inform you of the passing of our dear colleague and friend, Dr. Sc. Vladimir Mrša, Professor Emeritus at the Faculty of Food Technology and Biotechnology at the University of Zagreb, and a long-time member of the Organising and Programme committees for PUBMET.
As a distinguished professor and a respected figure in the scientific community, Dr. Mrša made significant contributions as an outstanding scientist and an advocate of open science. Above all, he was a dear friend and colleague who mentored generations of young scientists and experts, helping them find their own way.
We are committed to honoring his legacy by striving for excellence in scientific research and continuing to promote open science, just as he believed in and supported us to do. He will always remain in our hearts.
